Printing Policy

Campus Technology Services(CTS) provides users with a certain number of free laser printouts per semester listed below. These generous limits were established to permit the average student to complete their course work without incurring additional expenses. Users who desire to print beyond these limits can do so, but at an additional personal expense.

THE FOLLOWING PRINTING GUIDELINES ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED:

Users are given the following page allocations/print quota prior to the beginning of each semester/session:

500 pages for the fall semester

500 pages for the spring semester

500 pages for summer session

500 pages for winter session

Printing of one black and white page (either single or double-sided) deducts one page from a user's print quota.

Printing of one color page (either single or double-sided) deducts six pages from a user's print quota.

Purchase Print Dollars with cash - To process your purchase faster, you have the option to make a cash or check purchase in the Telecommunications Office located at 102 Culkin Hall. Please note, credit card purchases are no longer accepted in person in the Telecommunications Office, only through Cashnet. Telecommunication's office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm.

There is no rollover of the semester/session print quota from one semester to the next. Unused pages purchased from Campus Technolgy Services - Telecommunications Office, will only be rolled over from the fall semester to the spring semester.

Pages are NOT transferable to other accounts!

Only CTS provided paper may be used in CTS computer lab printers. User-provided paper (such as colored paper, heavier weight paper, card stock, etc.) has damaged CTS printers in the past and is NOT permitted. To use your own paper, you may try using the services at the College Store Copy Center in the Hewitt Union.

For a listing of the black and white and color printers available in the public, general access labs, please see our Computer Lab Printers page.
